Kansas City, Kan. — December 12, 2011

A new book is providing readers an alternative to the rational approach to life.

Renowned leadership development expert Ramon G. Corrales, Ph.D., is providing readers the tools needed in self-development and leadership in his new book ?Of Pebbles & Grenades: 3 Keys to Self-Mastery? (published by AuthorHouse). Founded upon what Corrales calls the three major aspects of life that should be mastered, the book provides practical insight into the importance of self-responsibility, emotional intelligence and maturity. Corrales presents and expands upon three metaphors to aid in better understanding these concepts, including:

????The pebble-ripple metaphor for self-responsibility
????The pebble-grenade-jewel metaphor for emotional intelligence
????The three major altitudes reflecting the levels of maturity we experience

?Outside ?pebbles,? or the events in our lives, do not determine us,? says Corrales. ?Our responses do. The world of power consumes, the world of fairness fails, but the world of purpose saves. This book communicates that.?

Corrales is the founder of the Integral Mastery Center, dedicated to the development of integral leadership in both personal and business contexts. He also developed the Code of Wisdom, the theory that serves as the foundation for his work. Corrales, who holds a doctorate in sociology, specialized in family sociology and organizational dynamics, allowing him to present a vast perspective in his corporate work.

?Of Pebbles & Grenades? aims to create and nurture individuals as leaders in various areas of their lives, expanding on the strength provided by emotional intelligence and self-responsibility, and the success assured by maturity.

?I want to get to the heart of current issues in life because I?ve been there and I?ve taught them as a husband, father, grandparent, therapist, coach, team builder and leadership expert,? says Corrales. ?We hold the key to our own dignity, not the outside world.?

Worcester, Mass. — December 12, 2011

An interdisciplinary research team at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has received a $ 1.2 million award from the National Science Foundation to develop a smart phone application that will help people with advanced diabetes and foot ulcers better manage their disease. The four-year project will be organized through WPI?s Healthcare Delivery Institute (HDI) in collaboration with diabetes and wound care specialists at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

The proposed application, currently dubbed ?sugar” would be installed on a smart phone and integrated wirelessly with a personal glucose meter and scale. The application would track and archive blood sugar levels and weight, and use the phone?s camera to capture and analyze images of lesions known as foot ulcers, which are potentially dangerous complications that affect people with advanced, uncontrolled diabetes.

?This is an ambitious project that we hope will create a useful tool for people who are dealing with advanced diabetes,? said Diane Strong, PhD, one of the project’s leaders, who is a professor in WPI?s School of Business and a health information technology expert. ?We appreciate the National Science Foundation?s support for our approach to combine technology development and clinical expertise into a unified team to address this challenge.?

The importance of managing weight and blood sugar to control diabetes is well known, and the application will have embedded data and algorithms drawn from clinical experience that will prompt patients with specific messages based on their weight and blood sugar readings over time. The application will also track the progress of a patient?s foot ulcers, which are often caused by neuropathy and reduced circulation to the extremities, common complications of advanced diabetes.

Left untreated, foot ulcers can develop into serious infections and lead to amputation. According to the American Diabetes Association, some 70,000 people with diabetes have lower-limb amputations each year, accounting for more than 60 percent of all non-traumatic lower-limb amputations in the United States. Nearly 80 percent of foot and leg amputations in patients with diabetes are complications from foot ulcers.

?The application will provide relevant, personalized feedback for the patient that encourages them to make good decisions,? said Bengisu Tulu, PhD, assistant professor at WPI?s School of Business, a health information technology expert and one of the leaders of the project. ?The reality is that nearly all the management of a person?s diabetes is done by the patient, away from a doctor?s office or clinic. So we envision this new application as a way to help these patients achieve better outcomes.?

Strong and Tulu are founding members of HDI. Also working on the ?sugar? project are HDI executive council member Emmanuel Agu, PhD, associate professor of computer science at WPI, who will lead the software development for the new application, and Peder Pedersen, PhD, professor of electrical and computer engineering at WPI, who will work with the HDI team and direct the image processing component of the application. Throughout the project, WPI students will participate in the research and development. ?This is wonderful opportunity for our students to work together on teams with senior researchers and clinical partners, to help develop an exciting application that meets a real medical need,? Agu said.

Currently, treating chronic foot ulcers is a significant challenge because walking on ulcerated feet causes further trauma. Even the action of having affected patients come to a physician?s office for an examination can cause additional injury and stress. A novel aspect of the application would give patients more control over the care of their foot ulcers. The patient, or someone else in the home, would photograph the ulcers on a regular basis then use embedded tools in the application to monitor the ulcers? status.

The application would deliver prompts with objective measures of the progress of their ulcers to help patients decide if staying home and dressing the wounds is sufficient or if a doctor?s visit is needed for further assessment. ?If the new application can provide helpful feedback to the patient, letting them know the ulcer is healing, or at least is stable, then it could limit the number of times these patients need to be transported to a doctor?s office or clinic, which is better for everyone involved,? Pedersen said.

The WPI team will work closely with four colleagues at UMass Medical School: David Harlan, MD, professor of medicine and pediatrics and Co-Director of the the Diabetes Center of Excellence at UMass Memorial Medical Center; Raymond Dunn, MD, professor of surgery and chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the medical center; Ronald Ignotz, PhD, adjunct professor of cell biology and research scientist in the Department of Surgery; and Sherry Pagoto, PhD, associate professor of medicine and a licensed clinical psychologist at the UMass Memorial Weight Center.

?Many with diabetes will tell you that managing their illness is like a second and demanding full time job. And that is especially true if complications, like foot ulcers, arise,? Dr. Harlan said. ?All our clinical care delivery efforts are designed to support the patient so that much of their care can be delivered in the patient?s home, when it is convenient for them with their busy lives. Until we can eliminate any of our patients from suffering wound ulcers, which is our ultimate goal, we?re terrifically excited by the work we?re doing with the WPI team to facilitate proper wound care and thereby avoid amputations.?

The first two years of the project are slated for technology research and development, leading to a prototype for refinement. If the development phase proceeds as planned, the second two years of the project will test the new application in a clinical trial at UMass Medical School.

Atlanta, GA & Oldenburg, Germany — December 14, 2011

Ecce Terram, a globally active digital imaging solutions company with headquarters in Atlanta, GA and Oldenburg, Germany, has launched a new photo book app for Facebook. The white-label application enables members of the social network to create and order photo books from their favorite photo services provider, which are generated directly from a Facebook photo album.

?

According to photo industry surveys, most of the more than 800 million Facebook members use the social network to store and share digital photos with family members, friends and co-workers, using the platforms ?Photo Album? feature. The custom brandable app developed by Ecce Terram now clears the way for large retailers and photo services to generate new photo book orders from a so far underdeveloped source.

?

?Facebook has become the premier destination for consumers to share and store their photo memories,? says Frank Simon, president and CEO of Ecce Terram USA. ?For retail chains and photo processing services, the white-label version of our photo book app for Facebook could well be the key to unlock the huge potential of this market.?

?

?The new app is backed by the Ecce Terram?s long-standing experience with large-scale software deployments for the photo industry. Order processing is handled by Ecce Terram?s? Photo2Lab CentralHub middleware. The software facilitates complete solutions from photo ordering to processing in commercial labs, and also supports standard software installations, as well as customized for large photo processing centers.

?

Ecce Terram positions its photo book app for Facebook as a logical addition to the company?s order channel solutions for desktop, online, mobile and kiosk platforms. For large retail chains with the Photo2Lab infrastructure already in place, configuration and deployment of the new app to work with their existing order processing system can be completed within a matter of days.

?

?Time-to-market for new photo products and services is a major reason why large retailers have come to rely on Photo2Lab solutions provided by Ecce Terram,? says Jay Hitchens, Project Manager at ECCE TERRAM.

The German version of the photo book app for Facebook has already been successfully stress-tested during the strong start phase of Germany?s holiday shopping season on https://app.share-your-photostory.de/en/, which is bustling this year.

?The Photo2Lab enables our customers to connect with consumers literally anywhere, anytime they are ready to order photo products and services. Starting immediately, through the photobook app, that includes connecting with them during their ?quality time? on Facebook. That’s when they appreciate offers the most which help strengthen their bonds with family and friends,? says Ecce Terram’s president/CEO.

?

Facebook members who install the white-label version can then simply select an album on their Facebook page, choose a background color and pick an image frame. Once they have chosen the pictures to include, added short text comments (optional), defined the sort order and determined the cover photo, they can order the photo book to be shipped – all from within Facebook.

?By offering the new Ecce Terram photo book app, a customer now can enable consumers to create thoughtful, elegant photo book gifts, when and where it?s most convenient for them – on Facebook,? says Frank Simon. ?For consumers, it allows them to free their photos from the fleeting digital domain, and create lasting gifts. For Ecce Terram customers, we expect it to significantly increase order volumes.? ?

Company Contact

ECCE TERRAM will present its apps for Facebook, mobile apps for a variety of platforms, and Version 2 of it`s Photo2Lab Online Client in Las Vegas from January 8 – 12, 2012.

Berlin and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. — December 15, 2011

DataCore Software, the industry?s premier provider of storage virtualization software, announced that a premier German insurance company Direct Line Versicherung AG has implemented its business continuity and disaster recovery architecture on a storage infrastructure built on the DataCore storage hypervisor SANsymphony?-V foundation. The high-speed and highly?available synchronous mirroring functionality of the DataCore solution enables Direct Line to set up a backup and disaster recovery data center located 40 kilometers away in order to minimize downtime and to ensure speedy recovery in case of a failure at the primary data center. The combination of a storage hypervisor with server hypervisors provides a flexible, high-performance and fail safe IT infrastructure that virtualizes storage hardware with SANsymphony-V and server hardware with VMware vSphere.

“DataCore SANsymphony-V provides Direct Line a cost-effective and efficient business continuity solution supporting high-availability and disaster recovery across multiple sites, without neglecting performance or data protection aspects. The DataCore solution is a strategic component in our daily business,? says Heiko Teichmann, managing director at IT service provider Teserco and project manager on behalf of Direct Line Versicherung.

According to a recent German consumer report ?Stiftung Warentest?, the automobile insurance company Direct Line offers an excellent price-performance return to its customers. While many factors are involved, this can also be attributed to having a cost advantage in its IT infrastructure. In addition to meeting the disaster recovery requirements and flexibility of the central IT services, the storage hypervisor SANsymphony-V provides greater potential for additional cost savings. Thanks to its hardware independence and the efficient caching algorithms of the DataCore solution, Direct Line can not only use its installed and cost-effective HP P2000 disk subsystems but with DataCore also remove the functional or performance limitations that would have prevented them from future use. Today, around 75 terabytes of data are now managed in the main data center, located in Teltow, and at the remote data center in Berlin, which meets the requirements set by the highest data protection category (Tier 4). The synchronized, mirrored data is transported over a 6 Gb dark fiber connection between the two sites.

In addition to adding a new level of data protection and reliability, Direct Line benefits from an increased efficiency in productivity and flexibility during the year-end, peak business season, which adds an increased spike in business volume and much higher IT-workloads. The ability to work as an active-active operation across both data centers is made possible by SANsymphony-V?s ability to stretch the shared storage across the two sites. This allows the insurance company to move virtual machines and storage resources across different locations on-the-fly and with little effort.

About DataCore Software

DataCore Software is the industry?s premier provider of storage virtualization software. Its SANsymphony-V storage hypervisor software solves the big problem stalling virtualization initiatives by eliminating the storage-related barriers that make virtualization too difficult and too expensive.
